About the Site:

Dollar Store Crafts is a daily blog devoted to hip crafts using dollar store stuff.

I started Dollar Store Crafts in October 2008, and the site has since developed into a successful daily crafting blog with an emphasis on projects that are cheap, chic, and easy to do. Over 100,000 unique readers visit Dollar Store Crafts each month, and half a million pages are viewed each month.

This blog is dedicated to bringing you crafts that feature materials purchased

  • at dollar stores
  • at dollar sections in stores
  • at discount stores for $1 or less

Projects will assume you have some supplies available, including supplies that nearly everyone has on hand like:

  • scissors
  • glue
  • tape
  • paint brushes
  • general office and home supplies

Crafts focus on projects that are $10 or less. Emphasis is made on clear, simple directions, and projects that anyone can do!

    Hey, I love this blog. I’ve tried several of the crafts posted here. I’m not a big fan of the new layout, though; it’s harder to see what’s new.
    Good work!

    Awesome. I love to do these crafts. Me and my mom actually have a little bit of a bonding time – at least for a 16 year old and a 45 year old mother. lol

    What a wonderful site! We love to craft with dollar store items as well (we even have our own category for it!) It is always a great place to start! And everything is at a reasonable price! Although our website is growing, we think the dollar store is one great place! Keep your great ideas coming! An keep up all of your great work!
